"What's the problem?!" Link thought about it seriously and then solemnly said: "Tell me, as long as I know!"
Although this old Scuva has always looked like an inconspicuous and bad old man, Link has now been vaguely aware of his strength, and he absolutely does not dare to underestimate this man's every word.
However, now, more than ever before, he wanted to know the identity of the old Scuva in front of him.
You must know that the monster boss is a person who can cast seventh-level magic. If he doesn't even make any moves like old Skuva, he can keep the monster boss tracking behind him, but it seems that he has never been able to catch up with his group.
, in Link's concept, I am afraid that only the strongest among the top experts in the mainland, those ninth-level magicians known as magic gods, can possibly do it.
There are only four or five Dharma Gods on the entire continent, and their deeds have long become legends spread across the continent. Although Link admires knights the most, for these people who stand at the top of the continent,
I have heard many stories about strong men since I was a child. After three years of abnormal training by Master Calvin, especially the last and most severe test, Link has been transformed from a child with a young mind.
After training to become a qualified knight, if Link, who was still in Colo Castle, faced this old man who was probably the pinnacle of the continent, he would have pounced on him with heart-shaped eyes and wanted to learn two unique moves.
But now Link is just staring at the old Scuva in front of him with caution, and all he thinks about is that the God of the Undead likes to abduct young men and women to become servants of the God of Death, and the God of Joy likes to recruit some young beauties to be his servants.
There are rumors heard on the streets that his apprentice actually has evil thoughts. If Master Calvin knew Link's current thoughts, I don't know if he should praise himself for successfully teaching Link to become a qualified knight.
Well, you should still be depressed that Link has inherited his perverted nature so completely.
"Don't be so serious, I just said it casually." The old Scuva looked disapproving of Link's serious attitude: "I just find it strange that during the day today, the leader of the bandits came down from the mountain.
When I came back, I seemed to have some wounds on my body that had been slashed by a big sword..."
"Yes, that's what I did!" Link exhaled: "At that time, I joined forces with a comrade to fight the monster boss, and the sword wounds on his body were caused by the knight's sword in my hand!"
"Really? You can hurt him?!" Elian suddenly regained her composure, her eyes filled with hope.
"It's really you?!" Old Scuva also frowned and muttered quietly, but looking at Link's expression, he knew that he was not lying, and he showed a slightly thoughtful expression.
"But looking at your badge, it seems that you are just a trainee knight! Even I know that you don't even have a trace of fighting spirit in your body." Old Scuva quickly returned to normal and raised his hand with a smile. Link
I don’t know when he had already held the knight badge in his hand and waved it: "Great Knight Link, it is understandable to talk big words and pretend to be a hero to coax girls. As a man, but
It seems a bit old-fashioned!”
"We did repel him at that time, and of course we were all defeated, believe it or not." Link ignored the old Scuva winking at him, and still said to the old guy seriously: "Now
Please give me back my knight's badge first!"
In normal times, Link wasn't that old-fashioned, and he didn't mind joking with Old Skuva, an old man whose speech was not annoying. But now, he always felt that Old Skuva had been hiding something from them, and since he stepped into
From the moment he entered the horse thieves' lair, Old Scuva always acted as if he wanted to follow his arrangements. This feeling made Link feel very unhappy.
If Old Scuva really needs his help for something, now everyone is sitting in the same boat, going through fire and water, stabbing each other in both sides, it doesn't matter to Link, but Link hates being treated as someone else for no reason.
The feeling of being manipulated like a chess piece, even if Old Scuva may really be doing it for his own good, holding him back and forcing him to retreat. The great Knight Link is born with such a stubborn temper!
"It's boring, it's really boring." Old Scuva obviously felt Link's cold tone. He didn't seem to want to leave a bad impression on Link. He muttered and quickly threw the knight badge back to Lin.
K: "It's just a joke, don't be angry!"
"I have finished answering your question." Link's expression finally softened a little: "Now should you tell me your identity?! Are you Kamida, the God of the Undead, Zhu Keli, the God of Joy, or..."
"Stop! Stop!" Old Skuva had a black line on his face and shouted: "Young man, I am old. Older people have poor hearts. Please don't scare me like this. What kind of undead god is this?
Dear Dharma God, aren't you just a doctor who was kidnapped by horse thieves a few days ago? If you don't believe me, just ask Ailian. How could you have guessed like this? It's really..."
"Uncle Skuva is the doctor who was temporarily captured by the horse thieves and brought to the mountain after I was injured a few days ago." The little girl Elaine also looked at the old Skuva a little strangely and said: "At that time, I was injured by an arrow.
After being shot, the horse thieves were ordered by the monster to catch doctors everywhere. Then they bumped into Uncle Skua who claimed to be a doctor on the mountain road. At that time, he said that he was drunk and got lost, and he was actually looking for him.
Horse thieves ask for directions..."
Little girl Elian tilted her head and gave old Uncle Skuva a naughty look: "As for who Uncle Skuva was before this, I really don't know!"
Old Skuva has not only healed her injuries these days, but is also the only person she can talk to in the den of thieves. Of course, Elaine still believes that her uncle Skuva will not have any problems with her and Link.
What kind of malicious intentions, but she is not the kind of stupid woman who only hangs herself in a coquettish way. After Link mentioned this, and combined with what she knew about the situation, although it was not like Link did, he could not immediately kill this Uncle Skuva.
He imagined becoming the top Dharma God on the continent, but he also knew that Uncle Skuva might actually have some real and powerful identity.
"Alas, you didn't get admitted to the university." Old Skuva shook his head with a sad look on his face: "Why did you stop helping Uncle Skuva and start talking to this kid instead of helping him!"
"If you tell me personally in front of me now that you are indeed just a doctor," Link simply stopped and looked at Old Scuva: "I will believe you!"
"Ouch", the monster boss's voice was still screaming shrilly, but the few people who were numb from hearing it didn't take him seriously.
"Uh, this", Old Scuva rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He could see that Link was serious about what he said. If he kept talking nonsense, he might not be friends with Link in the future.
, so he didn't dare to joke any more, and asked seriously: "Okay, I admit that I have another identity, and I will tell you after you answer my questions!"
"Still have questions?!" Link shouted: "Didn't I answer you just now?!"
"Young man, you were rushing to answer just now, but I haven't said what I want to ask yet." Old Skua smiled evilly like an old fox: "Young man, it's good to have quick reactions, but
Don’t be too fast!”
"Uh, it seems..." Link recalled the situation just now, and had to admit that the old guy really didn't seem to have asked the question yet. He had to scratch his head: "Okay, you can ask!"
"Then tell me, how can you fight against that monster?" Old Skuva still had the same smiling expression, as if he was just curious about gossiping about an interesting thing: "You should also know that monster very well.
Strength, let alone a trainee knight, even a bronze knight couldn't beat him, but you were able to beat him away?! This shouldn't be the strength a trainee knight should have, right?!"
"Uh, this..." Link was also a little stunned. If old Scuva hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have thought about this issue.
The swordsman's swordsmanship inherited from mentor Calvin is originally a skill that can be continuously improved in battle, and one must have an unyielding fighting spirit to fully utilize the magic of swordsmanship.
So even though Mentor Calvin once told him that a sixth-level strongman could easily kill him to pieces, Link still didn't flinch even after watching the monster cast a seventh-level magic with his own eyes.
Meaning, maybe it was because of this fearless and unyielding will that he vaguely felt that his swordsmanship had risen to another level.
This method of cultivation is completely different from the method of relying on rankings to determine strength that has become customary on the mainland for countless years. No wonder this mysterious old Scuva feels strange.
"There is no trace of fighting spirit, and there is not even a little bit of magic fluctuation." Old Skuva began to circle around Link, and the look of surprise on his face became more intense with each circle: "There are actually still existences on the mainland.
A training method that I can’t see through?! It’s impossible!”
"Humph, young man," Old Skua rubbed his rosy nose: "You said I'm not a doctor, are you really a trainee knight?! A trainee knight would dare to be alone
Go into a den of thieves and challenge that monster boss?!"
It turns out that Old Scuva's strange behavior along the way was due to misunderstanding that he was also concealing his identity!
Only then did Link suddenly realize that he could understand Old Scuva's previous actions.
According to Instructor Calvin, the profession of swordsman...oh, it’s not a profession, it’s the skill of swordsmanship. It was something that few people knew about after the ancient war of the gods. No wonder Old Skuva couldn’t see it.
Understood.
As the top powerhouse in the mainland... Of course, this is Link's wishful thinking that old Skuva is some kind of magic god... He actually encountered something that he couldn't even understand. It's no wonder that he would try every means to investigate.
, as for the fact that he led him to Elian's room in the first place, I'm afraid he really thought of himself as a trainee knight who didn't know his own abilities, and wanted to save his own life, and by the way, he rescued Elian from the den of thieves.
When he thought of this, Link felt that the old Scuva in front of him was not so annoying after all.
However, the swordsmanship taught to him by his mentor Calvin can really surprise even the top experts in the mainland. It seems to be an ancient magical skill!
"Oh, actually I dare to challenge the monster boss, of course I have some unknown credentials!"
When Link Knight is in a good mood, he doesn't mind joking with people he doesn't hate!
While he was talking, he carried Elian on his back and continued walking.
Although it seems that there is no danger in letting the monster boss follow behind now, it is still safer to return to the town at the earliest.
"What?!" Elaine, who was following closely behind him, Old Scuva, and on his back, asked nervously almost at the same time.
The feelings of a girl are different from others in always looking forward to the hero who suddenly appears in front of her. After the reminder from Old Scuva, little girl Elen has already been full of curiosity about this young knight!
"That's courage and responsibility!" Link raised his head and chest, imagining the expressions of the former bald registration officer and the old Scuva in Elen's room, as if they were the combination of two great sticks: "I once held the honor of a knight.
I swore that I would never let those bandits set foot in the town until the last drop of blood in my body was drained, so even if I had to do it all over again, I would choose to do it again without hesitation.
Pick up the knight's sword in your hand and fight to the death with that monster boss! Even if I have to fight for my life, even if I am destined to be defeated and die in the end, I will chop off a layer of his skin first!"
"Ah..." Miss Elen covered her mouth, and stars flashed in the corners of her eyes. She was obviously moved by Link's expression and tone.
Although she was on Link's back now and could only see his profile, she could feel Link's boiling blood when he said these words.
After all, although Link deliberately avoided the answer that old Scuva wanted, what he said was his true thoughts.
He has determined to be a great knight since he was a child. Although he does not want to be a short-lived knight, no matter what, he has never forgotten what Big Daddy and Little Daddy taught him since he was a child!
Men, always have to bear the responsibilities that men should bear.
He originally stayed with the soldiers to protect the town. Although he had imagined what kind of Link Knight he would become in the future, fighting thousands of bandits and desperately defending the town, and other tragic legends popular on the mainland, but in terms of rational thinking, he
In fact, every step has been planned.
In his estimation, with his machine skills and various tricks to create suspicion, he can always do it after two days. By then, even if the army of Sarun City has not arrived yet, they should have already started preparing to set off.
Now, the residents of those small towns have also arrived in Saron City, and then Link Knight can retreat with honor.
He had also expected that the army of Saren City would not be able to decide to rush to protect the town so quickly, but Link always believed that no matter sooner or later, whether it was the army of Saren City or the army from other places, there would always be
Imperial troops will come out as soon as possible to take over the town's defense.
After all, this small town is the front line of the bandit suppression. As long as the two empires still want to wipe out this horse thief, they cannot just watch the town being looted and destroyed by the horse bandits. Otherwise, the next time the bandits will have no stronghold, just
I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to guide me.
However, the news brought back by Zisne gave Link a bad taste. Maybe it was that the mainland had been peaceful for too long. The discussions and research among the empire's troops had become extremely cumbersome, and no one was able to do so.
The courageous commander is probably unlikely to be able to organize an effective army to garrison the town in the near future, and if we have to rely on orders from the central government of the empire, there is no telling how long it will take.
He asked Chisne and the others to go to Coro Castle to find Lord Victoria. In fact, he just wanted to drive them away. Link himself had already had the intention in his heart that the empire's reinforcements would not come!
If the situation had not reached such a desperate situation, how could he have gone up the mountain in the middle of the night, thinking of taking the opportunity to kill the monster boss!
Link also knows how dangerous it is to fight that monster boss, but Link Knight will never shy away from the responsibilities he should bear.
Fortunately, he met this old guy this time. Link glanced at the old Scuva standing next to him. With this "suspected" top powerhouse in the mainland, not to mention protecting the town, even if it was to wipe out the den of horse thieves, it would be difficult for him to do so.
There is no danger anymore.
"You..." Old Scuva was obviously not as easily moved as Elaine. He pointed at Link's nose and almost jumped up in anger.
"Be careful!" Link quickly reminded him "kindly": "We are almost reaching the town. There are still many traps in this area that we made that day to deal with the group of horse thieves. We didn't have time to dismantle them.
Scuva, you have old arms and legs, so be careful not to step on them!"
"Okay! Very good!" Old Scuva quickly returned to his original smiling appearance, and vividly demonstrated in front of Link what it means to be a treacherous person: "Sure enough, he is a very motivated young man, and he can do this.
He cares about the elderly, he knows how to set up traps, and he also understands the anger and things I just mentioned..."
"It's courage and responsibility!" Link rolled his eyes at the old Scuva who was deliberately pretending to be confused.
"Yeah, courage and responsibility." Old Skuva nodded heavily: "It sounds very powerful. From what you mean, it seems that if you have such courage and responsibility, you, a trainee knight, can fight against that monster.
La?!"
Link pretended not to understand the irony in Old Scuva's words, and nodded seriously and said: "For the courage and responsibility of a knight, I dare to face any opponent and any battle!"
"Okay, that's good, great!" Old Skuva suddenly smiled happily: "This makes me feel relieved!"
"Old Skuva, what are you talking about?" Link turned his head in surprise, but found that in just a moment, the old Skuva who had been following him disappeared.
He turned his head, trying to find traces of old Scuva, but found that all the scenery in front of him suddenly seemed to be rippled by invisible water waves, and seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.
After they dispersed, what was revealed in front of them was the real mountain forest.
Link's eyes suddenly focused on a point in front of him, and his intuition, which was beyond ordinary people, suddenly gave him an unprecedented sense of danger.
